> It doesn’t take much imagination to see how dangerous a remotely-hacked smart TV can be, since they are usually equipped with microphones (and occasionally webcams)

Based on this security concern, I've compiled an exhaustive list of things people should look for when opening up a smart TV to assess its suitability as a spying device:

1. battery

In an age where people typically carry smart cell phones everywhere, there's only one question for people with privacy concerns about smart TVs: If I'm concerned about state actors hearing my conversation, is it sufficient to unplug the smart TV?

I searched for the word "battery" and didn't find it in the article. That's not useful. I guess if I ever need to have a conversation where I'm concerned about government spying, I'll just put all the other microphone-equipped devices in the room with the smart TV and go talk somewhere out of earshot of it.
It's a little on the nose when wsb is happy that Michael Burry bought into GME about a year ago?

It's almost like they forgot who Christian Bale portrayed in that movie.

Being on the short side isn't a problem per se. Having 140% short float is.
I've been self employed on an off for the last 4.5 years. I spend 4 years working a job I hated (plus all the time building up to that job) to save the money to take a year off and do my own thing.

The first 2 years went amazingly well, I was very lucky. The last 2 have been pretty rough. A combination of government crackdowns (I'm a brit) on self employed people, brexit and now covid has pretty much done for me. I have enough cash for 3 more months.

I wish I could have started 2+ years earlier with a loan from mum or dad. I wish I could continue now with the same. But they're poor. I suspect I will be too if I don't get a job or a major sale soon.

I have experience with elm, and since you are teaching students I would suggest you to go with it.

There is no beating it's compiler for error messages, tooling and extensive beginner friendliness.

Elm is how I learned functional programming and to build 2D games there are many libraries to choose from, you can use the simplest one of them created by the elm author himself

Elm playground

Speaking of typeclasses not being in elm, I think one can appreciate them better when the things they provide have to be manually written.

The price definitely seems great for the size of the display, but it might be worth looking at the Waveshare e-paper displays if you want to do something a bit more DIY.
It honestly doesn't sound like that is the wrong strategy. Selling something far below its value is still a form of indirect charity. That calculator probably could have fetched a little more. Maybe $20.
I look forward to the investigations on market manipulation that RH, Schwann, and TD did by not allowing their customers to trade on that stock.

Or is it normal for brokers to independently halt trades on stocks they deem too risky?
Yes, that'd be a good option and something I would consider if the workload increases to an unmaintainable level.

I'm not familiar with the library, but looking at the documentation, it looks like it provides a programmatic way to get information about the schema of a table just from the create statement, which seems useful if you want to do something programmatic with any SQLite database.

It does look like SQLite provides some PRAGMA commands that can do some of the same things, like:

PRAGMA foreign_key_list(table-name);
PRAGMA schema.index_xinfo(index-name);

Hardware naming is awful, in general, in my experience (:

The interesting part of all of this is something that you've experienced directly, here. People crap all over Intel for being stuck on 14nm, and there are definitely good reasons to do so.

But the upshot is that they are sitting on a ridiculously mature, optimized manufacturing node that has ample capacity. They can pump out enough silicon to meet demand, or at least get much closer to it than anyone else right now.
Commercial displays are very expensive though.
I think this is overstating it a bit. The WSB guys have figured out something simple - that in manipulating stocks to take them down via shorts and public statements - the institution doing the short is very very vulnerable to a short squeeze, in which everyone might make some money, some people astronomically so.

Tesla's current stock price is very much a result of some very public shorts, which led to a series of short squeezes. Now it doesn't fall because the people who pulled the short squeeze can't unwind their trade quickly without loosing everything.
It would be a good compromise alright - in the sense of a blackmailed offical being very compromised. Anonymous speech is important to a free society - the secret ballot recognizes this fact well.

The intelligence agencies don't even need to exist. They exist to serve us not the other way around - if they forget it the right thing to do is to give them the old yeller treatment because they will have become a menace to all.
Short selling accelerates price discovery in order to allow for more efficient capital allocation, thus making our overall economy stronger.

This isn't the case. The rights we have are naturally ours, by nature of our very existence, and the constitution enumerates them as a mechanism to keep the government from infringing on them. It is very clearly written this way, and to say that our foundational natural rights don't matter in any context is dystopian and authoritarian. That is to say, rights exist outside and beyond the constitution. The question is really one of e.g. my rights vs Facebook's rights.

>But I also think young, bored men are the most dangerous people in the world and a lot of young men are at home and, quite frankly, not having sex

Scott Galloway, you should read some history to understand that nearly every war was started by men in YOUR age plus a simple but extreme mindset like yours.

Lets talk about bored old men like you, who "hopefully" sit at home but write bullshit like that. I hope you try not to start a painting career in Vienna.
> Eventually you will need to return that stock you've sold

What happens if you don't?
Yep.

You could make a list of thousands of things that "the establishment" does that undermines its legitimacy that should end. Just at random:

* The New York Times and other media outlets should stop running ads for obvious scams. I see Taboolah as hate speech because it will make young people hate old people, it will make you believe the media is dishonest (they run scam ads), the government is dishonest (they allow it), etc.

* You shouldn't be able to be both the CEO and Chairman of the Board of a company

* In China you'd risk being executed if your company was losing money and paid a dividend. That's a little extreme, but it's in the right direction -- airlines and many companies were hit hard by the 2020 crisis because they were already in debt for dividends they paid.

* Right-wing media has normalized hate speech such as: "Democrats are Athiests", "Kamala Harris refused to touch the bible when she are sworn in." Often they lie about politicians who actually go to church for the benefit of politicians who are as profane and ungodly as you can imagine. This hate speech hurts the targeted individuals but spreads mistrust in the media and ultimately undermines religion. Pastors flacking for Donald Trump causes people to tell pollsters that they are "not religious" -- I know a Christian who used to run a soup kitchen and is about to go to Federal Prison because she protested nuclear weapons -- most people see them as a mindless zombie right-wing horde. (e.g. people who say they are Christians or say they are Marxist have a hard time telling which lines came from the Communist Manifesto and the Sermon on the Mount.)

The answer to "having a bad reputation" is "behave in a way completely inconsistent with the bad reputation all of the time". It works wonders if you stick with it.
Yes please go on with your disingenuous list.

Lee Keltner - Killed in Denver by the hired security guard for a journalist.

Aaron Danielson - Killed at dueling protests by self identifying anti-facist (antifa)

Garret Foster - He was a BLM protestor killed by an active Army sergeant.

Tyler Gerth- he was a protest photographer killed by a guy with a grudge over an argument.

David Dorn - Not killed by BLM
The protests were several miles away and had disbanded a few hours earlier near the Metropolitan Police Headquarters downtown after clashes between police and a few remaining agitators turned violent

Do I really have to go on?

You make it sound like those on your list were killed BLM mobs and a modicum of investigation makes it obvious you lack perspective. Those that marched on the Capitol were indeed a mob.

It depends on what you mean by "human rights". Non Western countries often complain (with some justification) that when Western countries promote "human rights" they are really just promoting Western culture with its emphasis on the needs of the individual over the needs of the group.

Depending on why you're looking at a Tesla there may not be another car that you could buy with similar price and performance. They don't have the competitive pressure on every quality detail compared to most other automakers.
> Because the point isn't to have no moderation, it's for the power of "moderation" not to be vested in a small number of oligarchs pressured by angry mobs spurred on by media companies with bad incentives to want to damage their political opponents and market competitors

I mean, or that the angry mobs don't like violent insurrections being encouraged and planned openly on these platforms. Is that what you mean by "damage their political opponents?" Phrases like that make it sound like the "opponents" are some innocent little scared children who did nothing wrong. If demanding that calls to violence are stopped is political for you, then ok, sure.

As I've said and will keep saying: those most vocal about protecting the 'freedom' of domestic terrorists to terrorize are the ones most certain they'll never suffer from that terror.

It's not at all clear to me that 1979 is even the best reference year to pick. It looks to me like the trend lines broke in 1973-1975, but by the nature of this type of chart, careful choice in starting year can provide a chart that suggests a different break point. (It's probably better to think of these as "fuzzy" lines, which are 10% starting in each of 1946, 1947...1955.)

John von Neumann, a genius if there ever was one, was apparently a hoot.

"Von Neumann is remembered as a man of warm personality: courteous, charming, and jovial, with an often ribald, sometimes wry, sense of humor that made him excellent company and gained him a reputation as a bon vivant. He was fond of limericks and practical jokes and hosted frequent Princeton parties. He was also well known as a reckless driver, once emerging, so the story goes, from a smashed car with the explanation: "I was proceeding down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in orderly fashion at 60 MPH. Suddenly, one of them stepped out in my path. Boom!""

That would block all margin trades, no? Not a specific instrument. I understand why they did it, but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
And I am offended when a few loud voices maximize it. It is called making a mountain out of a mole hill and the media did well here to convince so many to not give too much thought about giving up their rights again.

Very similar to 9/11 except less casualties thankfully. Just an interesting observation of how much control screens can exert then vs now. More are connected with constant access. We need better screen diets.
> pretending the judge/bureaucrat can peer into somebody's mind

But historical cases don't peer into people's minds. They look at evidence, such as texts in chat rooms that show clear intent to manipulate. See the Libor scandal chats [1], where one trader wrote "its just amazing how libor fixing can make you that much money" and "its a cartel now in london."

I think it's unlikely that the SEC will be able to successfully prosecute WSB traders, though, due to lack of evidence. It's also probably not even worth their time.

> 12-19 people have died due to BLM "protests", and over 700 officers injured. So BLM riots have had a worse impact.

Your statement is dense with issues:

1. You're comparing a single "protest" to a protest movement. Also, where did you get a figure like "12-19"?

2. There are documented and confirmed cases of capitol-riot-type people using the BLM protests as cover for violence (e.g. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/illinois-man-accused-o... and https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/23/texas-boogaloo...). The attempts to blame the capital riots on "antifa" are groundless.

3. The capitol rioters deliberately struck at the democratic process itself (e.g. process of conducting a fair election) because they rejected the results of that process, which is a far more serious thing than any traditional protest, no matter how violent.
It does? Amazing.
The only thing more ridiculous than the rise in the GME stock are these attempts to frame this is some sort of culture war. All this is is a bunch of people on an online forum trying to make a quick buck; it's not some grand statement against Wall St. or whatever.
You want other people to do work for you, for free. That's completely understandable.
The tooling approach is an interesting one, but I think the most important thing remains documentation. The "treat code like data" analogy breaks down because unlike (most) data, code is a thing that was intentionally crafted, one piece at a time, by a relatively small number of people, many of whom are probably still in the building. It isn't some foreign artifact, understood by no-one, that's been measured from impersonal processes. It was made. Almost by definition someone has already had an understanding of it at some point. Reverse-engineering a new understanding from scratch - even via powerful tooling - remains a wasteful path to take compared to simply reading a (written-down) understanding that already exists.

It's not that we just started showering wealth on the 40+ crowd, it's also a matter of the 18-40 year old adults perhaps not having the same opportunities to succeed (or having more opportunities to fail) than their parents did.

The number refers to both, but type 2 is the overwhelming majority of them (and 100% of the prediabetes, which is the by far most of that 100M).

Type 2 is the one that can be prevented (in most cases) by diet and exercise. This article is warning that we're failing at that, by very large amounts.

Type 1 is still a large problem, but a small fraction of this problem, about 1%. You could exclude them from this number without substantially altering it.

Why would GameStop have gone bust? Even if GameStop stock would trade at zero, the company still exists until it runs out of money and declares bankruptcy, which is independent of its stock price.

In this case, it's not really saving any jobs, since GameStop employees (excluding higher ranked employees) probably don't have any part of their compensation that's stock based.

Toys R Us was a leveraged buyout, which is definitely a much more ethically dubious strategy, and that can cause jobs to be lost. This won't cause any jobs at GameStop to be lost, although there probably will be some unhappy traders and people left holding bags of GameStop stock.
> there is no provision stating they can block a specific eligible stock as long as I meet their margin requirement

That may explain why they had to block trading in the stock. Margin losses almost inevitable at this point. But legal said they couldn't block lending on a single name. Their TOS, however, permit them to suspend trading in single names.
> what I found going there is that there are a lot of anti-left memes being shared

This is probably because reddit is quite clearly a left-leaning platform. Due to the lack of healthy balance, the refugees from reddit are mostly people who feel their views and voices are being silenced by aggressive moderation.
In my opinion this state of affairs is only reddit's fault.

Someone recently posted something requiring an “HDMI dummy plug” (a fake display adapter?) to create a virtual screen. How did you solve it on a pure software level?

- do you have to inject code into higher privileged processes such as the Dock or window manager?

I work on multiple products and companies- maybe like most of us.

I can't stand sorting my inbox every morning. How do you do it?
Yea - i'm confused on what the definition of manipulation is here.

If i tell you GME has a new product line that will increase their wealth 10x - that seems like manipulation. If i say to you i'm buying GME and you should too, with clear disclaimers that this isn't financial advice but rather a meme - i don't think i manipulated you.

By "normal" definition manipulation requires some about of deception/etc. I don't think "anyone" (within obvious reason) is being manipulated here. It's very clear what the community is buying into.

So i come back to what "manipulation" is defined as in the stock sense. Is it meaningfully different?
> Rather than relying on a few giant platforms to police speech online, there could be widespread competition, in which anyone could design their own interfaces, filters, and additional services

To me this sounds something like "less walmart, more supply chains, warehouses, and storefronts." I agree in spirit, but it's the reverse of how capitalism usually works. The few giant platforms were built off the work of people who built their own interfaces, filters, and additional services. Why would we expect new/improved protocols (crypto or otherwise) to be any different?
